for strategic reasons. I just want a strong general election Dem candidate that has the better chance of winning. I think Becerra is the traditional candidate and that might not fire up enthusiasm. Steyer, just from the fact that he is not a politician, might appeal to the apathy crowd, something new. Also I think CA wants change, and independents might go for that with Steyer.
